Emily Post recommends that condolence card writers focus on how they truly feel, rather than the manner of death. Other examples are to include a specific memory of the deceased or an offer to help. If the writer was close to the deceased but not the family, the card should be addressed to the closest relative. If the writer did not know the deceased, the card should be addressed to the relative the writer knows best.
